I am pleased that my new great-grandson was born healthy! I fear the America and world he inherits will be increasingly grim.

Re: 6 generations alive at same time?

And all the children are above average.

Above average what?

Inherited Sneeze

My daughter and I are waiting to hear if the newest member of the family has inherited my maternal grandfather's sneeze. It is a very distinctive rapid fire long series of sneezes (often 10 or more) without time for a breath in between. My mother had this sneeze and I have it and my daughter has it and on the day my grandson was born he sneezed and I knew he was my grandson and now maybe his son.

I have only encountered one other non family member person who sneezes like that and she said her father sneezes that way too.

Anticipation...
